A partnership between multi-platform video networks Techno Sat Comm and PING Network is to roll-out free high-speed Wi-Fi for Delhi Metro’s 2.75 million passengers.

This high-speed broadband service will be provided through a dedicated app across the National Capital Region (NCR) in the second half of this year. In addition to entertainment and city-based content, the app will display real-time locations, approach and destination stations of the train and help passengers navigate between different lines.

Techno Sat Comm already runs India’s first Wi-Fi on-train service on the Delhi-Howrah Rajdhani Express. In order to deliver high-speed broadband internet experience, the company will use the T-Track 2.0 Wave 2 Solution, which is also used on superfast rail networks such as the Thalys, SNCF and NTV in Europe.

"We have adapted the technology to India, keeping in mind adverse weather conditions including heat, dust, heavy rains, vibration of trains and large passenger loads."

Techno Sat Comm managing director Nirav Dave said: "We have adapted the technology to India, keeping in mind adverse weather conditions including heat, dust, heavy rains, vibration of trains and large passenger loads.
